Chapter 53: The Game Ends
Zhang Shiping, who was drinking tea and eating pastries, stopped his movements when he heard this, then slowly swallowed the contents in his mouth, and raised his head to look at the handsome middle-aged man.
"What if you knew?"
"You don't need to worry about this, you just need to tell me an address, and that's it."
"And then?"
"Give you a good deal and help you get revenge!"
"Revenge, are you going to kill yourself?" Zhang Shiping looked at the middle-aged man who was talking with some amusement.
"You were forced to death by the people of this village, and your son was killed by the joint efforts of the Runande family, what does it have to do with so-and-so?"
"It's true that it doesn't matter, I just want to know if King Wei knew that he was fighting you to the death in Hanzhong, and he had a child but cooperated with you to harm others, would he be angry and abolish his son."
The middle-aged man smiled and didn't answer, Zhang Shiping didn't wait for his answer and didn't talk about it.
"Tonight I will set up a mourning hall at home, and I want them to kowtow to my wife and children to apologize."
"Okay, we'll definitely go tonight!"
"Aren't you afraid of my little moves?"
"You were beaten by the Zhen family back then, and you chose to retire afterwards, what you know is nothing more than some recklessness, and what they are willing to help you have been solved by their own people, do you have any other means?"
Zhang Shiping smiled, stood up, and walked out, no one stopped him along the way, and no one bothered him.
When he walked away, Ying Sheng quickly stood up and said respectfully to the middle-aged man, "Then will the few people who appeared yesterday be bad, and there is another one hidden in the village, do you want me to find him?" β
"No, just rely on him to make a big deal, let the guards guard the entrance of the village at night, I want to see what other means he has!"
"The adults are too cautious, just grab them and torture them, I won't believe him." Ying Shang expressed his incomprehension of the middle-aged man's behavior.
"Torture?" The middle-aged man glanced at Ying Shang, "This guy has experienced more winds and waves than any woman you have slept with, you think that torture can make him speak, the blood and cruelty he has seen are not something that a child like you can understand." β
Ying Sheng lowered his head, the corners of his mouth twitched, but his tone did not dare to be the slightest disrespectful, "What the adults have taught is this." β
Zhang Shiping, who returned home, rolled up his sleeves, put his clothes on his feet, packed up the debris in the front hall and backyard little by little, swept the fallen leaves and dead branches together, and then swept the dust from all the rooms, opened the windows, cleaned up the corners and corners of all the rooms, and finally lit candles before coming out.
Take the litter and debris you can get into a pile in the front yard, and wait for it to get dark and set them on fire to light up the whole yard.
The sky gradually darkened, and several elite guards appeared at the entrance of the village, which looked from a distance not comparable to ordinary nursing homes.
Fan Ze watched the four people patrolling, and the two of them stood guard at the entrance of the village, each of them carrying a war knife on their waists, Fan Ze would never think that it was something used to bluff people.
Fan Ze turned his head to look in the other direction, the door of Zhang's mansion was opened for the first time in a long time, and the lights inside were bright, and there was indeed no personnel coming, so he looked a little cautious.
Zhang Shiping took out a jar of good wine, put it in front of the coffins of his wife and children, sat on the ground by himself, opened the wine jar, and talked with his wife and children while drinking wine.
"Zhe'er, did you hate me when you were a child, you were too strict, didn't understand human feelings, didn't understand you, and always didn't let you study."
"Zhe'er, do you know, you are my only son, I am always different from you to others, especially the moment you were born, the moment you opened your eyes and smiled at me, the father's heart almost melted, and the father silently told himself that you must take good care of your mother's family, so that you can live this life in peace."
"Zhe'er, when you were a child, you said that you wanted to study, you wanted to see this big man, and traveled the world, and your father beat you hard, not because your father was irritable, but because your father just wanted you to live this life peacefully."
"You have grown up, your ambition has not changed, no matter how many times I beat you, you always told me to go out with your neck, no matter how many locks I put on the study, you have a way to get in and read, at that time I was relieved and distressed, you don't know the horror of this world, you always think that this world is nothing but right or wrong."
"Your father is old, and he really can't resist you, since you want to go out, then let you go out, I introduced you to so many Confucians, so many celebrities, but you can't look down on any of them, your mouth is still so hard, you can't say that you can't talk about people, you just don't recognize them, and no one can do anything about you."
"In the end, you still went to Runan, it was not a good place, there were too many protΓ©gΓ©s and old officials, your father just ate the loss of their Yuan family, and let people chase and kill all the way from Zhongshan to Youzhou, and then met your mother."
"Your temper follows your mother, you don't have your father's temperament at all, and your mother is the same, a little stinky temper, your father and I just ate two more mouthfuls of food, and your mother said that, and almost beat your father and me, alas, those days, your father felt pitiful when I thought about it."
"How many times have you told me, you have to restrain your temper and restrain your temper, you just don't listen, can you compare with that Man Boning, what kind of thing is he, no, what kind of character is he, he was just a small official back then, but that was also the leader of the poor family, it was Cheng Zhongde who recommended him, and he was afraid of him for three points if he practiced Guo Fengxiao."
"Okay now, Man Boning patted his ass and left, and you were killed by such a group of treacherous villains in Runan, you must have suffered a lot before."
Zhang Shiping's tears fell as he spoke, but he didn't realize it, drank a few sips of wine, and continued to talk to his wife's coffin.
"Old woman, you are still ahead of me, you still joked with me at the beginning, if you want me to die before you, because it is really uncomfortable to miss someone, I still laughed at you at that time, I didn't expect you to be so right, missing someone, this heart is really uncomfortable."
"Old woman, do you hate me, I lied to you all my life, my name is fake, my family affairs are fake, my appearance is also fake, all this I am in front of you seems to be fake, except that I really like you, it's true."
"When we were young, we were still poor, you nibbled on dry food and I raised this child, every day you have to scold me for half an hour to fall asleep, but every morning, I can see a steaming meal when I open my eyes."
"Old woman, you are most afraid of loneliness, now you don't have a bad old man like me to accompany you, are you still used to it, don't be the same as when you were young, you will cry after I have only been away for a few days."
"Don't worry Xin'er, don't look at her girl in front of you all day long, that's a fine person, a little person is full of thoughts, my scheming methods let her inherit it, don't worry, old woman, she will definitely live well in this troubled world."
"Old woman, Zhe'er, don't blame me, I also want to go down to accompany you as soon as possible, but I still have some things to do, I can't just go on like this, then I won't have the face to see you, give me some more time, okay."
Zhang Shiping was drinking wine and talking drunk, he had not been drunk for a long time, and his face was extremely ruddy today, as if he might be drunk and fall to the ground at any time.
Zhang Shiping was drinking in the mourning hall and waiting, and Fan Ze also slowly stood up in the corner of the night, this time he was dressed in sour clothes, and his dirty hair became messy to cover his face.
There was a guy with a smile on the corner of his mouth lying next to Fan Ze, with a satisfied smile on his dirty face, he should have dreamed of something good in his dream, and he was the only fool in the village.
Fan Ze walked out slowly, his back began to slump, his steps began to drag, the corners of his mouth were also hung with a smirk, and a smirk also came out, and suddenly he heard that it was really the same as the fool's laughter.
Fan Zezhuan pulled the torn shoes, walked towards the entrance of the village step by step, and when he was about to reach the entrance of the village, he stopped and turned a corner, and walked to a family, they had some food thrown away at the door.
Fan Ze squatted down, picked up the food that had fallen to the ground and ate it, and ate it with relish in front of the guards.
The guards were a little sick to their stomachs by his behavior, and one of them let out a real retching sound, and then turned his head away from him.
After eating for a while, Fan Ze felt almost over, so he stood up and continued to walk towards the entrance of the village, with scraps still stuck in his hands and chewing things in his mouth.
"Fool, stay away, don't you hear!" One of the guards saw that he was swaying left and right and getting closer and closer to him, and he could smell the sour smell on his body from so far away, so he quickly retched, covered his nose and drove it away with a scabbard.
Fan Ze saw that he used the scabbard to drive himself away, not only did he not panic, but also smirked a few times, ran towards the man, and reached out to touch the scabbard.
"You fool, what are you doing with him, it's good to lure this fool over." The guards behind saw that the fool rushed towards him and the others, and reached out to get the scabbard, probably thinking that the scabbard was some kind of toy.
"Oh, stay away, it's so unlucky!" The guard guarding the gate also reprimanded, and asked the guard who spoke out first to attract the fool, but there was such a road in front of the village entrance, and the fool blocked the front, so he could only keep retreating.
"Go, go, stay away." The guard kept backing away, and at the same time slapped the fool in front of him with his scabbard, and the fool, as if he didn't know the pain, jumped up and down to grab the scabbard, as if to tease him.
Just as the guard was about to draw his sword, the fool's smirk suddenly stopped, and his hands were withdrawn from grasping his scabbard, and the guard looked up and saw a pair of incomparably bright eyes.
The guard's eyes widened and he wanted to shout, but before he could open his mouth, a big dirty hand grabbed his neck, and with a "quack", the guard, who was still angry just now, crooked his neck and disappeared.
At the same time, the fool "Fan Ze" took out two short knives from his arms with his left hand, and when the right hand that cut off the guard's neck was withdrawn, the two hands were staggered, and the short knife was held, and then Fan Ze rushed forward, and suddenly hit the front of the remaining three patrol guards, stabbed forward with both hands, and when they had not yet reacted, he sent the short knife into their necks with one left and one right.
Fan Ze's head also hit the bridge of the nose of the middle guard, and the bridge of the guard's nose recognized the blood, and the violent impact made his head dizzy and suddenly a little unconscious.
Taking advantage of this effort, the two short knives have been pulled out by him, and then the two people guarding the door have also discovered that something is wrong, just about to rush over and shout loudly at the same time, they saw Fan Ze swing out with both hands, and the two short knives flew directly towards the remaining two guards, one short knife stabbed directly into the neck of one of them, while the other only slashed through the neck of the other person, and the guard's neck sprayed blood, and he wanted to shout loudly but had no ability to speak, so he could only cover his neck and fall to the ground.
Fan Ze also turned around at this time, and the guard who had been knocked out of the ground had just sobered up when he saw the big hand that had been dirty rushing over, and before he could react to dodge, he felt a pain in his neck, and when he heard a "gaba", he fell into the darkness again.
Fan Ze slapped his hands, then put his short knife back, moved the body aside, and sat on the rejection horse, waiting for his own people to arrive.
And Zhang Shiping in the mourning hall finally waited for Ying Sheng and his party.
"Mr. Zhang is so Yaxing, he is still in the mood to drink." Ying Shang saw Zhang Shiping who was drinking in the mourning hall, and a trace of impatience appeared on his face, "Don't pretend here, I know what you want to do, and I know who you want to wait for, but let me tell you, don't dream, do you know who the guards we brought were?" β
"The elite soldiers of Yizhou can see the fierceness of the Sichuan people in their bones." Zhang Shiping interrupted him without raising his eyes, "Such an obvious group of people came to Youzhou across the state and Yuefu, I really don't know how my Han officials are governed." β
Ying Sheng was choked by Zhang Shiping, almost turned his back on his breath, and was about to open his mouth to continue speaking when he was stopped by the middle-aged man next to him, "Mr. Zhang is going south and north, and these eyes are really worthy of his name." β
"You don't have to be so polite, it's hard to hear your Jingzhou accent." Zhang Shiping plucked his ears with his fingers, as if he had entered something dirty, "It's really embarrassing for you if you don't fight with them for power in Yizhou and go so far to find me, a bad old man." β
"Hehe, Mr. Zhang has good ears." The middle-aged man smiled kindly, as if he didn't care about Zhang Shiping's words at all, "The main thing is that the place in Mr. Zhang's hand is too important, and we have to find a way to get it." β
"Is it that heavy?"
"Ten catties of ore is a catty of iron, a hundred catties of good iron is a tael of iron, my Han's iron ore is counted, and suddenly you took out nearly a thousand catties of iron, this number can not be despised by anyone."
"But you haven't thought about what if the information you get is useless, what if I've run out?"
"Thought!"
"Then why do you have to do that?"
"I'd rather kill the wrong one than let it go!" When the middle-aged man said this, his face became extremely crazy and fierce.
"Hahaha" Zhang Shiping laughed, and even began to cough at the end of the laugh, "There is indeed a good mine in Youzhou, the iron in it has few impurities, and a little forging can make armor and swords." β
When the middle-aged man heard Zhang Shiping say this, his eyes suddenly brightened, "Where is that place?" β
"Hehe" Zhang Shiping smiled indifferently, "In Liaodong, but you don't have to think about it, that mine has been hollowed out." β
"How is it possible, Gongsun Du doesn't have that itself!"
"The father and son of the Gongsun family do not have that themselves, but there is one person who does."
"Who?"
"Zhang Ju!"
When the middle-aged man heard this name, he was stunned for a long time and couldn't speak for a long time.
"Got it?" Zhang Shiping looked at the stunned middle-aged man, "The old man has no choice, he saw the wrong person back then, and spent so much money in vain, but not only did he not say anything, but he was also taken advantage of by the Zhen family to make me angry, and I was like living in seclusion in a secluded state when I was disheartened, and I never asked about the world." β
"But after so many years of traveling south and north, there are too many people who know me, so I went to find Zhang Ju, and exchanged this place for my stability for half a lifetime, he is a wealthy businessman in Youzhou, and he has a lot of relationship with Zhang Chun, and it is too easy to get an iron mine silently."
"Who knew that Zhang Ju, who got the iron mine, had a hot brain and raised the flag to rebel, if he wasn't righteous, he shoveled all the possible problems around me before the rebellion, and I thought about running away."
"Hehehehehe" The middle-aged man laughed very weirdly, like a rooster that was choked by the neck, "Zhang Shiping, don't play with me!" β
"Am I fooling you, in fact, you know very well, how Zhang Ju rebelled, why did Qiu Juli get on their thief ship, these things may be a secret to others, but in your case, it is not a secret."
"No, you must be lying to me!" The middle-aged man was a little crazy, "Arrest him and torture me!" β
Zhang Shiping looked at the crazy middle-aged man and couldn't help but smile, "I don't need to trouble you." β
He took out a small medicine bottle from his bosom, opened it, and took a sip before they could react.
"With your kind of character, if it had been placed thirty years ago, a certain backhand could have been killed!" After Zhang Shiping said this, he sat down on the ground, and then lay back, without a sound, and the rise and fall of his chest became smaller and smaller.
"My lord, what should I do?" Ying Sheng looked at Zhang Shiping lying on the ground and felt a little numb.
The middle-aged man looked at Zhang Shiping and felt a little gritted his teeth, but before he could speak, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
"What a sound!" The middle-aged man's face changed, "Let people take a look!" β
It didn't take long for me to hear a scream from someone who had gone out, and then I saw hundreds of aliens coming in at the door, and the first one was stinking.
